Abstract
Using large household survey, the role of agricultural land in peasants’ decision of finding jobs in cities is examined.? We find that labor reallocation to non-agriculture is negatively associated with landholding and land tenure insecurity in rural China.? More children and elderly in a family reduce individuals’ migration propensity.? Regionally, landholdings still play a significantly negative role in labor reallocation while land tenure insecurity has insignificant impact on migration decision.
